Here are the pictures from our three California Christmases. We woke up early on Friday at Allison and Chris's house to open presents from Santa with Cousin Alyssa. Alyssa even had to write a letter to Santa explaining why their Christmas tree and presents were in their office behind closed doors. She wrote " Dear Santa, I have a very bad dog so the tree is in here" Leaving a big X on the paper and then taping it to the door. She then wrote " P.S. don't forget my cousin Chase is here" It was really cute.
Here is Chase opening up his presents from Santa. He was very determined this year. He only looked up when he needed help unwrapping.
Alyssa having fun with some of Chase's toys!
Then it was off to Papa Joe's house for breakfast.
Uncle Justin and Chase had a great time with transformers and I'm pretty sure Uncle Justin had more fun.
Chase playing bowling on the new Wii his cousin Elizabeth got for Christmas! He is pretty good!
Daddy was so tired he feel asleep under the Christmas tree!
Then it was off to Orange County to have a Christmas dinner with Great Aunt Ginny and Great Gram. Here is the present that Kelli made for Great Gram. A cake of course! This cake traveled in a cooler in the back of my car all the way from Utah. I was a little nervous the whole way. It has all of Grams favorite things on it. Crossword puzzles, a mystery book, orchids and See's Candies.
Great Gram is 96 and this is the first time I have seen her with white hair! She usually goes every week to get her hair done but isn't able to anymore because of health. I hardly recognized her, she looks so different.
Great Aunt Ginny.
We had a great time in California. It was a short trip but we were thankful to see our families for Christmas!!!

Those are some great pictures Lori! I love Gram with gray hair! She is just the cutest and sweetest older lady ever! She has grown old gracefully, I love her so much. I am glad that you got to spend at least part of your day with her :) Oh and tell Kelli that her cake was amazing as usual, I bet that was Grams favorite present, it would have been mine. She is so talented!! Although tell her Lynn has two n's! Lol
